Moon Swirl White Tip

This green tea has very well developed long leaves, with a hint of silver tip signifying that the plucking is extremely selective. In order to get the ‘tippy’ leaf style the green tea leaves must be plucked daily so only the new shoots are gathered. This green tea is primarily harvested/plucked during the early spring when the tea bushes first begin to flush (can be compared to 1st flush teas). Moon Swirl White Tip tea comes from the mountainous region on the Wuyi Mountains. Although it is a green tea, it is allowed to ferment very briefly to give the dry tea leaves a dark hue. The taste is much smoother than traditional green teas with body and some pungency. The aroma is almost sweet and floral.

Brewing Tips - Hot Tea: When preparing by the cup, this tea can be used repeatedly - about 3 times. The secret is to use water that is about 180’F or 80’C. Place 1 teaspoon of Moon Swirl White Tip green tea in your cup let the tea steep for about 3 minutes and then begin enjoying a cup of enchantment - do not remove the leaves from the cup. Once the water level is low - add more water, and so on and so on - until the flavor of the tea is exhausted. Look at the pattern of the leaves in the brew, not only do they foretell your fortune but you can see the leaves and the flowers petals pointing the way to good health and prosperity.

Brewing Tips - Cold Tea: Our iced tea recipe: Place 6 teaspoons of green tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.]
